Secondly, after their refusing to play unless another referee be chosen, besides Mr. Foster, who has proven himself as one of the square: - and most conscientious referees ever placed on the floor. In order to satisfy them and not cause any more “crying,” than was ne<x*sary the locals permitted them to choose one of their own men : and to even things up Decatur then : placed Mr. Worthman in the box. From tbe first blow of the whistle the Bluffton boys played like they had "been out” the night before. The work ot the Decatur five, however, was the fastest, snappiest, and prettiest ever seen on the floor. The hall was packed to its fullest capacity, and it was necessary to turn about ninety people away from the doors. The end of the first half closed with the score (standing 18 to 10 in favor of Decatur. The second half resulted In a score of 25 to 3 in favor of Decatur, thus making the final score 43 to 13.
